Philadelphia Phantoms defenseman Logan Pyett has been diagnosed with sarcoma in his left leg.

The 27-year-old rearguard is undergoing chemotherapy and the good news at this time is that the sarcoma has not spread and hopefully he will not need to lose his leg. We wish Pyett a healthy and speedy recovery. Sat, Oct 10, 2015 09:42:00 AM

The Red Wings' brass has been impressed with the progress made by prospect defender Logan Pyett.

"I think Logan Pyett (has improved the most of our prospects)," Detroit assistant general manager Jim Nill said. "Logan was one of the last picks of the draft three years ago and last year he was a first-team all-star in the Western League. He played in the Canada-Russia series. He played for Canada in the World Juniors. That's pretty good progress for a seventh-round pick." Pyett was drafted 212th overall by the Wings in the 2006 draft. He plays a similar game to Detroit rearguard Brian Rafalski. However, with the team's blueline as crowded as it is, he will likely have to wait a few more seasons before cracking the lineup.

Nolan Patrick has accounted for the Flyers' last three power-play goals.

To put that in perspective, the last time a Philadelphia player other than Patrick scored on the power play was Feb. 13. That said, Patrick has been occupying Wayne Simmonds' spot on the top power-play unit, so it will be interesting to see what happens once Simmonds is healthy. We might not have to wait long for an answer as Simmonds could be back this week. As for Patrick, he has 10 goals and 20 points in 57 games this season, which obviously isn't great even for a rookie. Even still, there's been enough positives with his game, especially in the second half, to make us feel optimistic about 2018-19 being a big leap forward for him offensively.

Giroux kept the run going on Thursday by finding the back of the net in a 5-3 loss to Columbus. If you go back to Feb. 8, then Giroux is one of the hottest players in the league with 11 goals and 25 points in his last 18 contests.

It was quite the weekend for the rookie who picked up his first NHL assist Saturday in his 13th game and topped it off Sunday with his first goal. Lindblom has lots of upside but you would not know it by his performance this season.

Voracek registered an assist in a 3-2 loss to Vegas, which also extended his point streak to four games. This is the second time in his career that he's recorded at least 75 points and he has a shot of surpassing his career-high of 81 points set in 2014-2015.

Wayne Simmonds notched two goals in Philadelphia's 6-3 win over Washinton on Sunday.

Simmonds, who had two assists on Saturday against Carolina, made it a four-point weekend to help the Flyers gain four points on the Capitals. The 29-year-old now has 23 goals and 43 points in 66 games.

Shayne Gostisbehere collected two assists in the Flyers' 2-1 win against Columbus on Thursday.

It was Gostisbehere's second straight multi-point contest and his third in the span of five games. He's up to 10 goals and 49 points in 57 contests this season. That's a new career-high in points with a good chunk of time left in the campaign.

Ivan Provorov had a goal and two assists in a 7-6 shootout loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

With just under three minutes remaining in regulation, Provorov made a beautiful play to make a diving pass to Claude Giroux to tie the game up at six. The Russian blueliner is now up to 12 goals and 32 points in 65 games this season. Nolan Patrick, Jori Lehtera, Jakub Voracek and Robert Hagg also scored in the win.

Andrew MacDonald scored a goal and recorded an assist in a 5-3 loss to Columbus.

This was MacDonald's second multi-point game of the 2017-18 campaign. Shayne Gostisbehere and Claude Giroux also found the back of the net for the Flyers. Travis Konecny assisted on two of the Flyers' three goals.

It has been a while for Gudas as he had gone 12 games without a penalty and 14 games since his last major. He has 75 points to go with a couple of goals and 10 points in 54 games. He has limited fantasy value.

Brandon Manning picked up a goal and two assists in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Ottawa Senators.

Manning did all of his damage in the third period, as he registered the primary helpers on goal by Claude Giroux and Nolan Patrick before scoring the flukiest goal you've ever seen. Manning dumped the puck into Ottawa's end, the puck bounced off the corner boards before sliding right into the Senators net. The Flyers blue liner finished the game with a plus-3 rating, three shots on goal, three hits and four blocked shots in 18:04 of ice time. He's now accumulated five points in his last four games. He's up to six goals and 15 points in 47 games this season. Despite his recent surge in offensive production, Manning won't be worth adding in any fantasy format.

Travis Sanheim received a boost of confidence when playing in the AHL.

The Flyers sent Sanheim down on January 22 and he had 15 points in 18 games with Lehigh Valley, regaining his lacking confidence when he was with Philadelphia earlier in the season. He played 12:44 upon his return and was very good against the Jets. "I think it’s his best game with us," captain Claude Giroux said. "He was moving the puck well, made a lot of good plays defensively. I was very impressed by his play." Sanheim has only five assists in 36 NHL games this season but has the offensive upside to be a fantasy asset next season.

Neuvirth was injured on February 18 against the Rangers. He was expected to be out four-six weeks at the time. "Neuvy’s a little bit ahead of probably where we thought," GM Ron Hextall said on the weekend. Perhaps the netminder could return in the next seven-ten days. He is 8-7-3 this season.
